Specifically, chats dated 13th February, 2023, reveal the Applicant asking whether he could use his own address to receive parcels. He also mentions that he is undertaking these jobs due to health-related reasons. The Applicant seen requesting work from the handler, which reinforces the fact that he was operating under the handler’s instructions without any awareness of the nature of the contents. Chats dated 4th April, 2023, after the seizure of the first parcel, further confirm this position. In a conversation between “Rich” (the handler) and “unforgettable” i.e., the Applicant, the Applicant is seen asking whether anyone had hidden drugs in the parcel. At 6:56 PM, he explicitly states that he is unaware of the parcel’s contents. Again, at 11:00 PM and 11:27 PM on the same date, the Applicant is seen reconfirming the contents of the parcel with the handler. There is, therefore, nothing incriminating in these chats. On the contrary, they establish that the Applicant had no knowledge or conscious possession of the illicit contents and, thus, deserves to be exonerated.
